    Maybe the smaller fighters should be in the division below.

    15 rounds? Same day weigh-ins?

    Are you people clueless as to the damage that is sustained in those extra 9 minutes?

    Add in same day weigh-ins and your fighters will be prunes, during those extra rounds, from dehydration.

    As well, the fluid that surrounds, and cushions the brain during impact, will also dry up.

    Which will mean more severe damage to the fighters brain.

    Sure, 15 rounds with same day weigh-ins.

    If you guys were running things than ringside body bags would become standard for all professional boxing matches.

    While these are fighters, they are still people.

    36 minutes of fighting is plenty.

    My man, we're not talking about shortening the rounds, we're not talking about women fighting for only 2 minutes. We're talking about the normal 3 minute rounds and having 15 rounds for special occasions.

    12 rounds are fine. Just make the weigh-ins a few hours prior to the fight.

    Id rather they figure out weigh in and people taking advantage of the current rules before we add those extra rounds.

    It's day before weigh ins for the safety of fighters. Maybe the smaller fighter isn't making weight correctly.
